It's simple, just ask them what started them down the path to becoming a furry.

If they got into the fandom via anime, then they probably prefer 1 or rarely 2 (from shows like Beastars or Brand New Animal).

If they got into it via Disney, 3 or 4.

If they bring up Pokémon, back away slowly.

Of course there was always that Robbin Hood movie, but also like did anyone else feel really sad for the red squirrel in Sword and the Stone? Like dude coulda just lived his happy little life out as a squirrel.

Which one in the chart is Robin Hood? 2? 3 with extra clothing?

Yes, dammit! Even as a kid I was like wait if they can make Archimedes talk then why can’t they do something with the squirrel?

To me that was the peak for storytelling at Disney. Being able to act out a tragic romance in a throwaway gag scene with implications that haunt you into adulthood.

With Merlin and Mim and a young Arthur being turned into a fish, a squirrel and a sparrow?

Yes that's "The Sword in the Stone".

Me and the Mrs get traumatized every time I get us to play rule34dle.

NOOO NOT THE POKEMON!!

tf

This is why we don't overuse initialisms. I can't tell if this is meant to be "the fuck," "trans-femme," "type:fox," or some other thing.

Wouldn't that be .tofu, instead of .tf?

I know that OpenTofu also happily uses .tf but at least in my mind .tfkinda still belongs to Terraform, eventhough they have indeed corposlopified as you to eloquently put it.

Because Reddit is centralized. They control everything from the site to the app.

Lemmy is very much different, where every instance handles the data individually. And that data isn’t natively pushed to your phone, that would be something handled by an intermediary that your app is running.

Probably not. Most people here seem more invested in telling me fake answers.

In this context it's probably "transformation", as in art featuring a character turning into, eg, a doggirl

Inkstain is correct. Trans Furmation. Source am very friendly w several artists in the furry community.

I'm not going to try and claim I'm all that familiar since I'm not really in the community (got maybe a tiny handful of friends who are) but I've not actually seen the furmation part but once or twice, I think for most people it's just "transformation", no?

(tho I will echo HCSO's frustration that the "TF" acronym always being used in place of the word is infuriating especially as a fan of actual Transformers)

I feel like the whole thing needs to slide one to the right with a new form between 1 and 2.

I agree they're like a 1.5 but I don't see that type of design often and the existing categories seem logical. There will always be intermediary examples.

5 is literally just a cartoon animal with a bow

I see nothing wrong with or weird about 5, the normal female dog with bow.

I mean, 3 and 4 would be a totally acceptable cartoon character or something. Just weird if it's horny. 2 is in a very weird spot for me. Almost the furry uncanny valley.
